UCC Crop Production BMPs

­Introduction

The Canola Council of Canada Best Management Practices (BMPs) are a collection of information, recommendations and tips that are available through many resources, including the Canola Encyclopedia, Canola Watch and print resources. This document provides reference to some of these excellent resources, for each of the following crop production topics and subtopics.

Canola can germinate as low as 2-3°C, with increased risk of early insect infestations, seedling disease pressures, water ponding, soil crusting, frost damage, and slow emergence. Soil temperatures of 5°C or higher with warmer weather in the forecast are favourable for emergence. Learn more seeding specifics

Aiming for the recommended 7-10 plants per square foot, depending on the grower’s tolerance for risk, can be achieved by considering proper seeding rate, which are affected by seed weight and emergence (survival) rates. Calculate your ideal seeding rate
